It comes a time in your life where you have to stop and consider the people moving in and out of your life. You have to determine if the Lord placed strangers, lovers, friends in your life to be permanent or temporary. Those who you may want to be permanent should only be temporary (and usually administers great lessons to learn). I am slowly coming to another crossroad to switch the role of "Second Best" [see previous post] from his permanent status. The title just fits so well, he has been in and out of my life so many times and I have tried to keep the peace but today is looking to be my second to last straw. In addition to my potential loss, I have an extraordinary gain. A man who has come in when I felt like giving up and who has shown me love and although we are thousands of miles between us, we uplift one another and bring a sliver of hope to a bright future. The trade off is immensely joyous, I feel like I shouldn't have to trade my friendships while I'm in a relationship but at the same time, our friendship is becoming so fragile it may break at any moment on its own.
